The additional bar that I added just reinforces and stiffens the strut tower brace already in our cars and the Cup Cars.

But is the GT3 Cup Car really the ultimate in racing? The Porsche GT3RS race cars do have an additional strut tower brace... factory from Porsche. So I'm imagining that there is indeed some room for improvement here if Porsche also increased the stiffness on the GT3RS racer. But I agree this probably would only apply at 10/10ths.
Do you have a picture/diagram of the strut tower brace from the GT3 RS race car?

I will try to get one. I sent Loren a PM about it. Loren just told me there was one and that I would not want it considering what you would pay for it from Porsche Motorsports. I just left it at that. I am checking now though to see if he has got a part number or diagram as I am curious too.
